METHODOLOGY 1.1.0

Verification begins by trying to prove the strategy wrong.

Tradevo Verify is a falsification framework—not a profitability certificate. It organizes evidence around the most common ways a systematic trading claim becomes unreliable.

GOVERNING PRINCIPLESPUBLIC SPECIFICATION

Evidence over verdicts

A score summarizes. It never replaces the calculations, assumptions, limitations, and material findings beneath it.

Versions over promises

Strategy inputs, methodology, assumptions, and reports are versioned so that a result cannot quietly change after review.

Limits over certainty

Unsupported tests are labeled limited, and every report states what the submitted evidence cannot establish.

THE EVIDENCE MODEL

Six dimensions. Eighteen reproducible tests.

Tests are applied only when the submitted inputs support them. A missing test is labeled unavailable, never silently converted into a passing result.

INT

Integrity

Is the submitted record internally coherent?

Closed-trade sample depth
Calendar observation span
Trade identifier uniqueness

PER

Performance quality

Does the submitted record contain positive net expectancy?

Average net expectancy per trade
Gross-profit to gross-loss factor

ROB

Robustness

Does the edge depend on one convenient sequence or subset?

Trade-order Monte Carlo drawdown
Replacement bootstrap profitability
Chronological half-sample consistency
Top-five winner concentration

EXE

Execution

Does the result survive less convenient fills?

$2.50 added friction per trade
$5.00 added friction per trade
$10.00 added friction per trade
Breakeven additional cost per trade

RSK

Risk

What does the equity curve conceal?

Historical recovery factor
Longest loss sequence
Average loss in the worst five percent

REG

Regimes

Does the result recur across calendar periods?

Positive-month breadth
Positive-calendar-year breadth

RATING LANGUAGENOT A PROFIT FORECAST

Ratings describe the submitted evidence—not the future.

Every public report displays the rating definition and the observation limits that prevent a stronger conclusion.

84–100Strong evidence

Broad, resilient evidence with no unresolved critical finding.

66–83Moderate evidence

Useful support with meaningful limitations still visible.

46–65Fragile

The claim depends on assumptions, periods, or outcomes that may not persist.

0–45Insufficient

The record does not support a reliable strategy conclusion.

WHAT VERIFY DOES NOT CLAIM

Evidence software has boundaries.

Past performance does not predict future performance.
Modeled fills cannot reproduce every live execution condition.
A verified report does not endorse or vet the strategy owner.
Private source code may contain behavior not present in an exported trade record.
Market impact and capacity require instrument-specific live information.
A forward record gains meaning slowly and may remain inconclusive.
